|  Biblical
Response - Dec 21, 2012
Recently I have come across the idea going
on around about Dec. 21, 2012.
This is what they say:-
“There are prophecies and oracles from
around the world that all seem to point to December
21, 2012 as doomsday. The ancient Mayan Calendar,
the medieval predictions of Merlin, the Book of
Revelation and the Chinese oracle of the I Ching
all point to this specific date as the end of
civilization. A new technology called “The
Web-Bot Project” makes massive scans of
the internet as a means of forecasting the future…
and has turned up the same dreaded date: 2012.
Skeptics point to a long history of “Failed
Doomsdays”, but many oracles of doom throughout
history have a disturbingly accurate track record.
”
I thought I should write about here so that people
who don’t know will get an idea about it
and I will also try to give a Biblical response
to it and also mention what Bible says about all
this. Read it with an open mind and feel to ask
me questions if you have any.
What is going to happen on Dec 21, 2012?
There is a common belief that according to Mayan
Calendar the end of the world will happen in Dec.
21, 2012. The Maya calendar is actually a system
of distinct calendars and almanacs used by the
Maya Civilization of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica,
and by some modern Maya communities in highland
Guatemala. These calendars could be synchronised
and interlocked in complex ways, their combinations
giving rise to further, more extensive cycles.
The essentials of the Maya calendric system are
based upon a system which had been in common use
throughout the region, dating back to at least
the 6th Century BCE. It shares many aspects with
calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican
civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec,
and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec
and Aztec Calenders. Although the Mesoamerican
Calender did not originate with the Maya, their
subsequent extensions and refinements of it were
the most sophisticated. Along with those of the
Aztecs, the Maya calendars are the best-documented
and most completely understood.
THE WEB BOT PROJECT
More on the Web-Bot Project referenced in the
show’s PR blurb quoted above: They seem
to use a program ’spider’ to scan
the internet for patterns of great complexity
which they somehow read into current and future
events. They use them to make predictions. My
impression is, they see patterns, imagine they
see vague sorts of events in the patterns, decide
it’s a prediction, and when something in
real life perchance matches up to their vague
prediction they call it a “hit”.
Now it is believed that this Calender end on
Dec 21, 2012 and hence people believe that its
will be the ned of the world and thats the reason
there is no more prophecy or events written beyond
that day. Hence people think that world will come
to an end on that day. If you want to learn more
about it then you can search for it and you will
get lot of information about it.
Actually, the Mayan calendar doesn’t actually
end on 21 DEC 2012. It simply marks the end of
an Age. The calendar is made up of a series of
three calendar “circles”. They all
just begin again, as they have in the past.
Why do people believe in it?
People believe it because they say that what
ever it predicted in the past has come to pass
and hence this will also come to pass. Also people
have come up with few scientific discoveries to
prove the fact that there will be a big disaster.
Now some has even tried to interpret the Book
of Revelation from Bible and come to some conclusion
that Dec. 21, 2012 will be the last day of the
world.
There has been few who have come up with their
own ideas to support this. One example is Mataji
Nirmal Devi. She has tried to quote many things
which Jesus said in Bible and took few things
from different places. But the fallacy there is
that she said at one place “ But
today it is the day I declare I am the One who
have to save the humanity.” More
information can be found on their web site about
all her claims. A person who knows the bible can
easily understand all the misinterpretation which
is given on there. I am sure in the coming days
many more will come and may have already come
who will try to take advantage of these things.
That will fulfil What Jesus Spoke.
What is Science saying about it?
Science and theology (study about God) has always
been on conflict with each other starting with
the idea of evolution and creation. Bible clearly
speaks about creation and has nothing to say about
Big Bang theory. Now the fine tunning of Earth
out of all the planets of the universe itself
shows that there is someone behind it and nothing
is accident. So it shows that there is a intelligent
designer behind everything and thats what we say
as God. British scientists Hoyle and Wickramasinghe
estimated that the chances of life evolving from
the random shuffling of organic molecules is virtually
zero. They calculated that there is only one chance
in 10/20 to form a single enzyme, and just one
chance in 10/40,000 to produce the approximately
2,000 enzymes that exist. However, Hoyle and Wickramasinghe
point out that the production of enzymes is only
one step in the generation of life. Therefore,
they concluded there must be some type of Cosmic
Intelligence to explain the origin of life. Hoyle
compared the probability of life spontaneously
generating from non-life as equivalent to the
chances of a tornado producing a Boeing 747 from
a junkyard.
Now Science has also certain things to say about
Dec 21, 2012. There are people who claim that
sun will be hidden behind the moon and it will
not give light to earth and also few who says
that there will be a sudden change in earth poles
and change in gravitational forces.
Based on what is happenening with sun spots,
and the Earth’s position in the Milky Way,
doomsday is a real threat to our existence as
we know it. Scientists also know the Frequency
Hum in the Earth is Rising. Our Earth Hum was
a constant 7.8 Cycle frequency. we used that 7
cycle format for almost all communications since
it is the Baseline. In the Past few years, the
Earth’s Hum is Changing. The Frequency is
rising and has been recorded past 11 cycle format.
Right now the Earth Raised about 4 solid cycles
in frequency measurements. Scientists believe
this raise in Frequency goes directly hand and
hand with the Poles getting ready to flip. That’s
right, Earths Magnetic Properties are changing.
The North Side Will Soon Point South, and South
Will point North. The Earth Will Flip 120 degrees.
Also it speaks about Brain frequency and sine
Waves. We know that Change in frequency affect
the brains reception guidelines. In other words,
If you use a frequency brain stimulation machine
doctors can enhance, change, and alter a persons
senses. If two frequencies are transmitted with
a small gap between them, Like 400Hz and 410Hz
The brain will even out the difference naturally
make the brain produce a 3rd tone. This 3rd tone
made by your brain is a pure Sine wave. The sine-wave
will be a 10 Hz tone. Experimenting through the
whole range of alpha and theta waves ( from 5
- 12 Hz) it was found that a combination of frequencies
consistently caused a complete shift in consciousness.
So when the Earths Frequencies finish their change,
our senses and brain thought pattern will be seriously
deformed. Our electrical body pulses that control
every move your body makes, will adjust itself
to the Earth.
What’s the response from a Biblical
Perspective?
From a Biblical perspective I can say that we
cannot be sure of this particular date. But the
things which are mentioned as will happen will
happen as many of the things are found in the
Bible. Whatever is happening in the world simply
proves that the Bible accound is clear. When we
read the scientific facts then we can be more
sure. There are many signs mentioned in the Bible
as end time signs and we can see most of the things
happening. So from a Biblical perspective we cannot
be sure of the date but one thing is sure i.e.
Earth will be destroyed as God’s Judgement.
What does Bible Say about End Times?
Now dear friend, you might be bit confused if
you are not aware of the message of Bible. Let
me give you a small idea about what Bible teaches
about human beings and how can a person get salvation.
After that I will write about End Times.
Now in the begining God Created the heavens and
the earth. Now Bible says that God created the
Earth in 6 days and on the Seventh day he rested.
Thats why we have 7 days week. After he created
everything he also Created Man i.e Adam. Now it
says that God created Man in his own image. You
may wonder why human beings are so different from
all other animals. Man was created in the image
of God. Now after that God also created women
i.e Eve as a companion for Adam. So in God’s
Creation man had a special place. Now God placed
them in a Garden called Eden Garden and allowed
them to eat the fruits of all tree expect one
tree i.e. Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
But they didn’t obey and ate it and hence
they sinned against God. There is a whole story
as who tempted them to eat and all and if you
are interested I will explain later but not in
this post. So man was separated from God due to
Sin. Jesus came in to this world to give salvation
to the mankind which was lost in Sin. He was the
Son of God and took a virgin birth. He died on
the cross and was raised from dead on 3rd day.
So now whoever believes in him have eternal life.
We will have to go to 1 out of 2 place- Heaven
or Hell. Jesus said who ever will receive him
will go to heaven and whoever rejects him will
go to hell for eternal condemnation. When God
created this world he created it so that Man will
lead a good life. But we can see how sinful the
Man has become on the earth. We hear of same-sex
marriage, prostitution, abortion, people without
shame ready to show their nakedness in media and
Internet, films promoting ideas which are against
the law of nature, pronography taking hold of
people, people killing each other etc. We hear
of reports that Wife killed husband to live with
her lover. I don’t need to mention more
but we can very well understand that man’s
moral standards have gone down and the world which
was created as a beautiful place by God has been
polluted in every manner. We see that due to the
things which man did the environment has also
got effected. We also know of diseases like AIDS
whose origin is in the sinful actions of man.
It was always been God’s plan that Man should
have one wife and they should remain loyal to
each other. But we know whats happening all around
the world. We have TV shows which promote evil
practices like couple- exchange. All these things
are abominable in the sight of God and due to
all this we see that Bible predicts a Judgement
of the Earth from God.
A Good parallel about present times can be found
in the events which happened during the times
of Noah. I will write about it in another post.
Now only way to save yourself from this eternal
condemnation is to receive Jesus as your savior
and lead a life which is pleasing to God. Basic
Steps to Receive Jesus is:-
- Accept that you are a sinner and you need
God.
- Believe that Jesus died for your sins and
rose again.
- Confess Jesus as Lord of your life.
After this you can read Bible to know more about
God and understand the things we are supposed
to do. Also attend a good church so that you can
grow in Jesus Christ.
So this world awaits a Judgement from God. But
the question is are we prepared to face it when
it comes. Some people think that there is no way
to escape out of it but we know that there is
a clear way out of it. This is a matter concering
our eternity and we should be very serious about
it.
